Lost my sweet Heaven. Your support has been so helpful...

I have added more pictures of Heaven on the second page of this forum.

My sweet kitty Heaven passed suddenly yesterday. She was only 5 and was just coming to love our new puppy, Willow. I had an incredible bond with that cat. The moment i picked her out of the pile of kittens and held her, I thought I was chosing her. I loved her instantly. Turns out, she chose me. SHe put her tiny paw on my face and stared at me. Since then, she has always touched my face when we cuddle. We do not know what happened to our precious girl, but it's agony without her. Willow was walking around the house with her collar in her mouth, she was searching for her. It is a very very sad day for us. I hope she didn't suffer. I hope she knew how much i loved her. I know she was happy though, right up till the day she passed. She loved everyone! She was known for how uniquely affectionate she was. Head butts and purrs for everyone! I miss her so much, it hurts. I never knew losing a pet could be this hard.Heaven Leonhardt July 7 2001-October 16, 2006

Oh, I'm just so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a pet and I hate you are going through such a hard time. It sounds like you gave your sweet kitty shuch a wonderful life. Hang in there sweetie, it does get better! You are in our thoughts!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts. It has been a hard day but it has really helped to come back here and read. Shaun is out of town now for a week. With Heaven gone and Willow not yet house broken, I have no one to cuddle with. I think I will go and spend the night at my moms. I half expect heaven to greet me at the door when I get home... it's so surreal right now.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. People are always amazed when I tell them that cats can be just as loving as dogs, but in a more subtle way. There is nothing like the bond between a human and a cat; especially when the cat has chosen you as its owner (my husband and I were chosen by our two kitties so I know exactly what you're talking about).
